iMPROVEMENT IN METALLIC GUARDS FOR WATER-BUCKETS.

Specification forming part ofLettcrs Patent No. 45,412, dated December 13, 1864.

water-buckets from injury by means of a fmetallic guard attached to or inclosing the buckets; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descrip!l tion thereof', reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this l specification, like characters refering to like l parts in each figure.

The nature ot' my invention consists, gen erally, in inclosing a water-bucket in a metallic casin g, having suitable heads attached to y each end of the bucket, and connected tog ifrom the bucket, which being raised, the

valve D immediately resumes the position shown by the drawings, being carried to place by its own gavity, operating in conjunction with the peculiar form of the bucketbottom, forming the valve-seat.

f, Fig. 4, are curvilinear pieces placed at right angles to each other, and secured in the bottom of the bucket, and represent the man 11er of securing the valve from rising in the bucket when the same is being filled from the opening ot' the valve D.

g, Fig. 6, represents the hoops of a common water-bucket.

h, Figs. 5 and 6, represent clasps attached to and forming a part of the guard-heads, and take hold of the bucket-chimes, securing itin getner by means of metallic rods, substan; i place", as shown.

tially as shown by the drawings, and hereinafter more fully described and set forth.

To enable others skilled in the art to make i and use my invention, I will proceed to del scribe its construction and operation by rei ferring to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a top view of a metallic bucket i for a drilled well. Fig. 2 is a side view or elel vation ofthe same, having a part of the top head or flange and the thimble or casing to which is attached the bail broken away, so as to show the manner of connecting the bail to the frame inclosing the bucket and the device securing it to the same. Fig. 3 is a bottom view oi' the bucket, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a vertical section through the bottom ot' the bucket and guard, showing their connection and the adjustment of the valve and its accompanimcnts. Fig'. 5 is a top view of a common bucket, showing the guard attached thereto. Fig. 6 is a vertical half-section and half-elevation of the same.

In Figs. 1, 2, 5, and c represents the bail oi' the bucket.

b, Figs. 3 and 4, is a support for the tripbolt c.

c, Fig. 6, represents a part of the draftchain attached to the swivel b.

d in the several figures represents rods forming a part of the guard to the bucket, and serve to connect the heads together.

e, Figs. 2 and 4, is a trip'bolt used to raise x the ball-valve D, Fig. 4, and is operated by i resting it on the water-spout when the bucket descends by its own. gravity, and brings the valve D in contact with it, raising the same g and permitting the discharge of the watcrg A, Fig. 2, is a metallic thimble, to which is attached the bail a, and is secured to the head or flange E by means of the screw (or equivalent device) t', by the removal of which the thirnble may be taken ofi', and the bucket withdrawn for repairs or other purposes.

B, Figs. 2, 4, and 6, represents the body ot the bucket.

B', Fig. 6, represents a section ofthe bucket for a common well.

C, Figs. 2, 3, and 4, designates the bottom head ot' the bucket-guard.

D, Fig. 4, is a ball-valve.

E, Figs. l and 2, designates the ilange of the top head of the bucket-guard.

F, Fig. 6, designates the bottom of the waterbucket in section.

C designates the top head ot' the guard.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is

1. Inclosing a water-bucket in a metallic guard, substantially as described.

2. Constructing a metallic guard for waterbuckets so as to admit of the removal of the bucket B from the guard by taking oil' the bale-thimble A, as herein described and set forth.

3. Constructing a metallic guard for a water-bucket and adapting it to the bucket so as to admit of the attachment of the tripbolt e to the guard instead of to the bucket proper, substantially as herein described and set forth.
